GOING: H(8)

NORTH ALBURY TYREPOWER BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +3.5m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Imposing Tallulah leading the way. SLEEPER (10) has failed to threaten in two runs this campaign but can improve third-up as he did last prep. Drawn to enjoy a soft run just off the pace and with the blinkers back on today he should be ready to produce. WINGS OF CARMEN (9) has been racing okay in Victoria but he goes a lot better on right-handed tracks. Has raced here twice and won both times. Just needs luck from a wide alley to give this a shake. NEWYORK MISSILE (16) was too bad to be true at Corowa last time out after a game win over the mile at Wagga the run before. Doesn't win out of turn but this looks a nice race for him. WARPAINTED (6) has been ridden more aggressively at his last two starts and responded with a couple of close thirds, both over today's trip at Corowa. Will give them something to catch. Lightly raced mare WHIRLWIND (4) was a distant third at Seymour last time over 1400m. Better placed at the mile so expect her to be in the thick of things. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sleeper and Wings Of Carmen.
